What is Bra Sister Sizes?
A C cup is not just a C cup (or a D cup is not just a D cup, and so on)! Bra Cup Size (cup volume) is relative to Bra Band Size; when Band Size increase (i.e from 34C to 36C US ), the cup volume gets larger. A bra in size 36C has a bigger cup (larger cup volume) than a bra in size 34C (even though they both are labeled with C-cups).
In short: More bra sizes can fit your bust! See which bra sizes that have same cup volume in the bra sister size charts below. Remember: Different "bra sister sizes" can be used by the same woman (cup volume will fit). But it is no guarantee that all band sizes will fit. So remember to always try bras on!

This is what Bra Sister Sizing is all about:
A C cup is not just a C cup (or a D cup is not just a D cup, and so on)! Bra Cup Size (cup volume) is relative to Bra Band Size; when Band Size increase (i.e from 34C to 36C US ), the cup volume gets larger. A bra in size 36C has a bigger cup (larger cup volume) than a bra in size 34C (even though they both are labeled with C-cups).
The same applies to i.e. a 36B and a 38B; the 38B has a larger cup volume than the 36B (but they both have cup size letter B). But what is very interesting, is that the 38B bra actually have the same cup size as the 36C from our last example (!) And the 36B also have the same cup volume as the 34C bra from our previous example. In short: both 38B and 36C can fit the same bust - they are "sister sizes" with the same cup volume. 36B and 34C are also "sister sizes".

Remember: Different "bra sister sizes" can be used by the same woman (cup volume will fit). But it is no guarantee that all band sizes will fit. So remember to always try bras on!
